Psalms 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
Bawipa ce kawdungnaak ing ka qeh dawngawh; kai benna mang law nawh kang kqangnaak awi ce za hy.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my goings.
Lawk-kqawng dek nawng ak plai ak khui awhkawng nik dawk nawh, lungnu awh ka khaw ce ni leh sak hy, kang dyihnaak na hun nep ce ni pehy.
3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Ningmih a Khawsa kyihcahnaak lak thai ce kam kha awh ta law hy. Thlang khawzah ing ami huh awh ce kqih kawm usaw Bawipa ce ypna kawm uh.
4 Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Bawipa ak ypnaak thlang, amak thym khawsakhqi benna hawi unawh ak oek qu thlang amak toek taw a zoseen hy.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, kawpoek kyi na saikhqi doem soeih hy. Kaimih aham ik-oeih na qaalkhqi ve a doem soeih a dawngawh u ingawm am dang sak thai noeng hy, cemyihkhqi ce kqawn qoe nyng seiawm, noet noeng kaa ingkaw kqawn noeng kaana doem soeih hy.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
Bulnaak lucik nawn ce am hy tiksaw, kang haa ni vyh pe hawh hyk ti; hyih phumnaak ingkaw thawlh bulnaak ce am ngoe hyk ti.
7 Then said I, See, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
Cawhtaw kai ing, “Vena awm nyng, law hawh nyng cahawn khuiawh ka kawng qee na awm hawh hy.
8 I delight to do your will, O my God: yes, your law is within my heart.
Aw ka Khawsa, nak kawngaih ce sai aham hy nawh; na anaa awi ce kak kawlung awh khoem khak nyng,” ka ti.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: see, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.
Dyngnaak ce thlangkqeng anglakawh kqawn nawh; AW Bawipa na sim hawh amyihna ka hui am khyp nyng.
10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
Na dyngnaak ce kak kawk khuiawh am thuh nyng saw; na ypawmnaak ingkaw na hulnaak khqi ce kqawn nyng. Thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh na lungnaak awitak ce am phah nyng.
11 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
Aw Bawipa, nam qeennaak ce ka hamna koeh hlawh lah; na lungnaak ingkaw nak awitak ing nik chung poepa seh.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: my iniquities have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
Ikawtih, noet boeih kaa kyinaakkhqi ing nik chung khoep nawh; ka thawlhnaak ing anik chung hawh dawngawh, ka mik am dang voel hy. Ka lu awhkaw ka lusam anglakawh doem khqoet unawh, kak kaw boet hqoeng hy.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham nak kaw zeel sak lah; Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak tengkhqi ce chah qai phyi kawt na awm u seitaw ngai hangtum na awm lah u seh; kai plawci sak aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kawboet doena hlat u seh.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
A ha! kai anik tinaakkhqi ce amik chah aih awh cat lyt lyt u seh.
16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
Cehlai, nang anik suikhqi boeih taw zeel u seitaw nang ak khan awh ce amik kaw zeel seh; ang quina, “Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh!” ti u seh.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks on me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
Cehlai, kai taw khawdeng thlang ingkaw ak syt thlang na awm nyng; Bawipa ing nik poek seh. Nang taw ka hulkung ingkaw anik hulkung na awm hyk ti; Aw ka Khawsa, koeh yih.
